Biography

Tony Levi joined the University of Southern California (USC) faculty in mid-1993 after working for 10 years at AT&T Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey. He invented hot electron spectroscopy and discovered ballistic electron transport in heterostructure bipolar transistors, demonstrating room temperature operation in unipolar transistors with ballistic electron transport. He also created a microdisk laser and conducted groundbreaking work in the optimal design of small electronic and photonic systems. Levi has published numerous scientific papers and book chapters and authored several books including 'Applied Quantum Mechanics,' 'Essential Classical Mechanics and Device Physics,' 'Essential Semiconductor Laser Device Physics,' and 'Essential Electron Transport Device Physics.' He has coedited 'Optimal Device Design' and holds 17 U.S. patents. His current research focuses on the device physics at the classical-quantum boundary, system engineering integration, and high-performance electronics optimization in system design.
